- Not all conversations with Esther have to happen behind closed doors. Last week, Esther sat down with Trevor Noah, live at SXSW in Austin on the Vox Media stage, for a candid look at the state of comedy in the world we live in. The two of them uncovered some surprising similarities between being a comic and being a therapist. Esther showed Trevor a few ways to become a better listener and Trevor in return helped Esther prep for her new live tour.
If you want to be part of that show too- Esther invites you to an evening unlike any other. Join her as she shines a light on the cultural shifts transforming relationships and helps us rethink how we connect, how we desire - and even how we love.

Trevor is low-key a therapist and Esther, low-key a comedian. Amazing dynamic between this duo! More please!
Beautifully interpretation of these two.
Perfectly said!

😊😊😊o😊
😊 Yes, more please!! Two of my favorites! So brilliant 🎉
This makes me wanna walk through life with a tiny Esther on one shoulder and a tiny Trevor on the other, giving me advice and commenting on my decisions. 😅
😂😂😂 same!

Humor is our ultimate freedom! Both of those people are free! Great video!!
Exactly!
Agree 😂, wouldn’t that be amazing?
All the years of people saying humour is the best quality in a partner. Being able to laugh at oneself is integral 🤍💫✨🫶✌️
So many brilliant quotes in this conversation:
One of Trevor’s: “Laughter is one of the few emotions that robs your pain of its power.”
One of Esther’s: “Humor is the closest you can get to someone without touching them.”
I agree with your quote choices.
Perfect summaries of these 2 brilliant people!
Trevor's comedy is healing. Each time I've gone to his show I leave feeling some healing as a woman. It is a tremendous gift as a woman to be left feeling healed by a man. He's brilliant and I'm glad he was born.
I'm so with you on this point!🙌🏾
Thats why he sjould have children, to pass on his genius genes. Amen?
❤❤ agreed
100% !!!
He was raised by strong women ❤
I don’t think there’s a Trevor’s interview that I haven’t watched yet and every time I watch one it amazes me how wise , thoughtful and intelligent this man is !!!!
💯 I couldn’t agree more
Who thought about putting these two people in a room? Genius!
what a treat!! Two of my favourite people in the world.
Watching from Singapore! I never imagined seeing Esther Perel and Trevor Noah together.
Why not
@@theempire00 I think it's because he's a comedian - finds humor on anything - and she is a therapist - finds seriousness on anything. For that reason, and many others, it was a great match!!!
I think it's because a lot of people cannot find humor in pain. Therapy is supposed to be a meaningful insight to your problems and most people don't find that funny.
😂true story 🤞🏾… how the world is evolving 💕
My God. This duo is spontaneous, witty and constantly growing. For me the best part is how they used each other's words - they were listening to each other - with eyes, heart and hands. Yes, humor is a touch.
I desperately didn't want this to end. What a beautiful dance you both created ❤️
"They created a dance!" 🦄🌈🦠🤡
Yeah... same here...
Trevor is so much more than a comedian. The wisdom that comes from his brain, passing through curated decisions to speak to the topic literally and/or with an edge of comedy. Oftentimes, both. Love him!
For the record, I'm glad this one wasn't off the record! 🙏 Two brillant people learning from one another and sharing it with the world. What a gift and privilege to have witnessed this 💫
Thank you for all that you do.
Mr. Noah is a dangerous man. I didn't plan to sit and listen to a conversation for almost an hour. Yet I did it. Again.
The duo we didn't know we needed!
Absolutely ❤every second of this.
Did not feel like a podcast or a "talk".
I was eves dropping on an in-depth, intimate, hilarious, emotional talk between two amazing humans.
Absolutely fed my soul
Listening to Esther Perel and Trevor Noah it was the best time I spent this evening.
Ambiguous loss! Yes yes yes. Absolutely right.
The wonderful thing about this kind of content is the elevated souls that gather in the comments. Wish we could be in the same room 😃!
gemmadidit sounds like a writer💞
Nah😒. I'm still two thirds potential and it's late in the day🙄. But I choose to be HAPPY😜🤪😁.
Or on the same airplane :)
I love that Esther openly 'confesses' herr stage fright.
Trevor making Esther laugh is a delight ❤
Esther I loved this notion of the Whole Body Listening, that's certainly how active listening feels - all senses are engaged!
Esther just demonstrated her incredible ability to listen to and to engage with her client/interviewee/audience. Trevor was an incredible vehicle for her to do that. Two utterly charming individuals interacting about a range of riveting topics. Surely he had every opportunity here to learn about developing his curiosity and to further develop his true listening ability ...which is what he hoped to get from Esther at this interview.
Can the two of you please make a series of podcasts together? I learned so much just from this one session. Thank you both!
Trevor doesn’t realize how well he actually listens! Using the words deridere and entendre correctly… He’s so mindful of those little details🙏🏼
Yh, that was great
I always click play..when Trevor is doing an appearance somewhere...this was fulfilling
Did I manifest this?? Literally two of my favorite people coming together from two of my favorite worlds!!! More of this please!! amazing amazing amazing
Yes you did. And were all very thankful to you for it 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I can’t decide whose accent and speech patterns I love more!!! I could listen to you both speak every day. Also because of WHAT you both speak about. Love you BOTH so much. Thank you for your time and conversation. ❤
This woman is incredibly smart. People that become fluent in multiple languages blow my mind!
True. I'm equally fascinated by people who learn a new language as adults. My daughter is ten years old and fluent in three languages. It's the norm growing up in a multicultural country like South Africa, but learning a new language as an adult is very rare.
I dated a guy who spoke 7 languages fluently. He was a total tool. It's irrelevant how many languages people speak. Dick heads are dick heads:)
He's multi-lingual, also.. and his voices of multiple peple are amazing 😂
I know that for 7 years, I was not present with my adult children. I was stuck in a relationship that didn't exist. It was very painful for them to watch me so absorbed in my cellphone with an individual that couldn't be present for me. I am so over it now, and I am so thankful to my daughter for trying to get me to understand and see how stuck I was. I am better now, and was still working on grieving something I could never have. She has helped me by making me aware how I dodged a bullet. I totally agree, and I have moved on. Took me a while, but I am so much better now.
In the Struggle in South Africa we used humour to survive. Judge Albie Sacks used it to survive in 90 days solitary confinement. He sang "Always".
". .I will be loving you always, ...not for 90 days ..but akways.."
I will be
If I were to think what the perfect conversation could be like, it is THIS. Absolutely riveted to these two exchange thoughts.
Why not someday do a tour together where we can learn from through therapy and laughter at the same time. Great duo dynamic!
What a great idea!!! I hope they take this and run with it. This conversation was si wonderful. Deep and true. ❤
Love their points about listening, the quality of listening and how it can shape the way the person we listen to expresses themselves. It's an underrated skill and very very useful and important.
This is like watching a great movie in a theatre or in a group where we laugh and cry together. Thank you everyone.
whoever thought to bring this two together is a genius
I'm tuning in for a second time. These two people are brilliant conversational models.
"Tragic optimism" = "You get to decide your reactions to the events which you can not control"
❤️👍
Thank you so much. I miss you Trevor!! I wish you all the best! You are the best!
Trevor is the best ever 👏🏼👏🏼
I found many psychological concepts and strategies in his speech. He always makes me learn, think and laugh ❣️
11:14 - I LOVE that. Humor is the closest you can get without touching someone. So profoundly correct. Love having new thoughts. Thank you.
Omggggg two people who’s work I adore and this match up makes the most amount of sense ever
I also see how Trevor is confident in himself that he is not uncomfortable speaking to a psychologist/ therapist. He is so sure of himself , and he has quickly taken the lead as if he is the host .
38:24 - when I make small talk in a city, people look at me like I’m crazy more than if I’m in a small town. I like small talk because I’ve crossed paths with some REALLY AMAZING people and I wouldn’t have known without small talk. 💯
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That dream interaction between two great people make my day and I will remember for loooong time.
This was excellent, thank you to Esther Perel and Trevor Noah. It's given me a lot to think about. You two are great!! Thank you. (from Sandi)
I would argue that we also "listen" with our soul/spirit. Such a great conversation between these two!!
How inspiring and touching to see Esther with Trevor. It may sound as minor but I love seeing the body-appereance of the two of them together. Trevor is soo tall or may be esther is petite. :-) After so much face timing it is great to see corpo-reality.
Thanks for teaching me a new word corporeality. And french terms, though my brain might not retain it, it's interesting.
@@privateperson4842🌺🌟🌟
IM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS INTERSECTION
this duo is the cutest!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful conversation between two of you is something nobody can miss .I am looking forward to hear you two
I love how Esther said we listen with our whole body: eyes, ears, smiles, nods, body posture. Amazing insight.
Trevor's laugh heals the soul😅
The way we share content with each other- best explanation ever Trevor. Thanks!
I absolutely love this. Listening to Esther’s podcast before going to bed is my favorite hobby. I get to reflect on myself, learn and explore new ways, and feel positive and warm and hopeful energy of imagining how I can do better next time. Thank you! And all the luck and support for all of you who watches this video! We deserve love.
TWO BRILLIANT PEOPLE HAVING A VERY INSPIRING CONVERSATION ❤
More of this please!!!❤
Both a great way at looking at relationships and comedy and the relationship comedy has with each person.
Indeed laughter is a therapeutic medicine.
The treat I never knew I needed!Thank you❤
Two of my faces who have amazing insight on how to relate! So many gems...thank you for an insightful, intelligent, funny conversation. So much respect for both of you and the work you do.
An interesting conversation between two equally intelligent and witty people.
I learnt to listen watching this. You do not need a degree to be a teacher. These two have taught me so much. Thank you!
Admire both of them from Singapore
Points that stood out to *me*:
1) The way the listener engages, molds the speaker. It informs the speaker how to proceed. Doesn't matter if the listener was well intentioned and listening, if their body language doesn't show it.
2) When amazing things happens, there is an innate feeling of wanting to share it with people. Having an immediate outlet through the phone, short circuits that release instead of engaging connecting with people around.
3) Sometimes stage fright, might not be fear so much as being overwhelmed. Sometimes over-preparing brings on too much pressure to remember everything that was prepared.
This is something I never expected. What a treat!
45 min of Insights from two of the brightest/ wisest minds of our times!
Than k you!
I wish Esther did a tour in the UK. I really enjoyed the conversation between the these two greats in their own right.
I adore Trevor. I could listen to him speak all day, every day. I have only recently discovered Esther but so glad I have. So refreshing to listen to two people who are so intelligent, insightful, funny and engaging. With so much discord and insanity going on right now, THIS was so needed...💕
Lovely surprise and what a good listening.
I am a fan of both of you for years. I was expecting a fun conversation but you both outlived my expectations in the very first minutes and kept doing so until the end. I want to thank you for sheding fresh inteligemt ideas and profound thruths as you go. Keep up ! You are amazing
Beautiful conversation with a beautiful soul. I love comedy and the art of it. I have always used it to connect to people even in times when I've felt unsafe to help gain some footing in the social dynamic.. really enjoyed this reflective, insightful discussion on why it's so important in our lives. Thank you so much for bringing this to us, Esther!
Just yesterday someone I know and respect said I need to get out with people more. So this was good timing on that path.💙🌎❤️
Stage fright: I don't know how to do this.
Nerves: I know how to do this. I don't know what's on the other side of me doing it.
I haven't seen it yet but my like 🎉is for bringing these two together, to start with...
This was such a delightful and real conversation- thank you both 🙏🏼
Love and appreciate those two people.
Trevor noah and Esther perel have really good connection ❤❤😊. Trevor is amazing
I’m totally in love with these two! They should do a world tour together! Both are amazing in their own right!!! They totally compliment each other! So real and so pure!
Absolutely love this. As a fellow therapist, these two dynamics are sooooooooo on point. Love them both!
This may become one of the best all time talks!
❤ Esther
One of few conversations I listen with normal speed.❤
My two favorite people! I’m excited to give this a listen.
Thank you both so much! God bless you! ❤🇹🇹
Both of them so thoughtful and genuine. Impressive.
Two legends .....they are intelligent n I can listen to them without getting bored.
two of my favorites of all time!!!
Esther ❤
To be a good listener, you have to know what to listen for. You have to not project, meaning not listen selectively.
❤❤Heaven is Here! These are two of my favorite people, having a wonderful convo.
Oh! My ♥always jumps with joy when the insightful people I have followed for years join to create sth together! This interview is,unsurprisingly wonderful! So mesmerizing that I've listened to it 5x in one evening! Thank you, Esther and Trevor, for all the content here on TH-cam and also for this deep and witty interview, both enriching and funny!
What a combo 💯✨
WONDERFUL MINDS! Thankyou for posting. The volume was excellent as well.
Esther great teacher ❤
I love how human Esther is.
This was wonderful! I stumbled upon it by accident and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Two of my favorites. Esther helps me daily navigating a challenging narcissistic, self oriented marriage. Without humor not sure where I'd be.
Excellent!!! Love them both, great match for an interview. Thanks.
Absolutely fantastic, both of them!
This conversation is very touching and intimate! I learned so much. ❤ I love you and your vulnerability, Esther!
What a fresh approach from Trevor and delighted to see Esther! ❤
Great conversation! Loved it!
What a combo!!!!!I am so thrilled👌🏾🤛🏾🙌🏾💃🏾💃🏾
This was a wonderful conversation!!! I have always loved Trevor Noah, but Ester Perel is great as well. They are both philosophers, psychologists and comedians...as well as many other things.
